The Puerto Rican English Writers Association and TESOL Summer Institute

     On Saturday, Dr. Anibal Munoz, Prof. Noemi Perez and Prof. Carmen Milagros Torres participated of the TESOL Summer Institute at La Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Ponce promoting the Puerto Rican English Association (PREWA) as well as the writing project "Un-Silencing the Afro-Puerto Rican Voice".
     Participants of the Summer Institute were able to share with Dr. Anibal Munoz and become members of  PREWA which promotes the writing and use of culturally relevant literature in the English classroom.  It was an unforgettable experience where PREWA members had the opportunity to share with TESOL President Dr. Evelyn Lugo,TESOL members of the Southern Chapter members and members of different chapters of  Puerto Rico and even with a former student of UPRH Maribel Soto.
    We wish to acknowledge the support TESOL has given to PREWA and to the organizing committee of the Southern Chapter with a special thanks to Prof. Edward Torres.  The experience of sharing our literary work in Ponce was an enriching experience that will always be remembered.

  1. I am delighted that Prewa is another way for our UPRH students to stay connected.
